Subject: diagnosed wit stage IV cancer and need help please...
Date: 01/26/2008

Hi, i been reading some of the messages and it just given me so much hope, yet i dont know what to do..My dad been having stomach pain for the last 4 years, he kept on going to the family doctor, and they said just stomach infection, gave him some medicine, and never tell him to go for further check up.. until August, he couldnt get his food through because it feel like the food got stuck in his throat, he then went to check up at a hospital and was diagnosed of cancer Stage IV. We went to a cancer research center (Moffit), and were told that it's stage III. went on chemo.  The first and second chemo was really well.  He didnt have that much of sign effect, only lose a lil bit of hair, and loose a few lbs. we were told to eat anything we want, as long as we keep the weight but not lose any.  A few days before his thrid chemo was scheldule, he had some pain in his stomach, couldnt eat and his stomach was really firm. We went to Moffit for check up, but they said he just had some sign effects due to the chemo. They stopped his chemo pills (not the chemo).  He went back for the chemo a few days later (already stops the chemo pills completely) He went home and his stomach got even bigger. He normally weight 120lbs, and with the weight on his stomach, he weight 150lbs. the doctor told him to remain in the hospital for checkup. He got weaker and weaker from there, til a week later, he were told that theycant do anything else anymore and he only have a serveral more weeks to live. They recommended to stop IV the multivitamin and just wait until he gone because the cancer has been spread all over his abdominal wall and lymp nodes, there nothing can go down so there no point of feeding him anymore. We been home for a few days now, and all we been doing was giving him pain medicine and sleeping pills. I can see that he got weaker, he can barely talk now, and seem like his breathin is getting worse, However, he said that he will not live awoke me from giving up. Yet i dont know what to do really. Please somebody out there help him. What am i suppose to do to help my dad, he;s only 54 and im only 19. We came from Vietnam 8 years ago, and he didnt get to enjoy anything in this country, He just work and worked so i could concentrate in school. He promised me that he gonna walk me down the ails and watch me graduate and success,.. Please somebody out there tell me what to do to help my dad..
